Willie Barry

This Is How We Duet

(Barryfied)



In days long past, regional crackerbox radio outlets piped similar musicalizing of plain-folks' fortunes to listeners weary after the day's toils. Simple instrumentation and harmonies that gladdened befit commonplace circumstances. Real Country was authentic expression of the world in which average men and women loved and lived.

Willie is celebrated as the Rock-A-Sonics' bop-heeled singer. Joined here by a slew of visiting talents, he revisits vintage jewels whose back-country fashion has enough spiritedness to set woods on fire. 

It's like discovering a time machine with a speaker.

Big Sandy), "Draggin' the River" (with Grey Delisle), "Why Don't You Love Me" (feat. Dave Stuckey), "That's All I Want From You" (with Dani Colace), "Tired and Sleepy" (feat. Eddie Clendening), "Two Hearts, Two Kisses" (with Dani Colace), "Warm Love" (feat. Big Sandy)
